What happens when I play or mix sounds?
The six sounds (white, pink and brown noise, fan, gentle rain and ocean waves) are generated in your browser with the Web Audio API. No audio is streamed from a server while you listen. The site does not record you and does not ask for microphone access. "Keep screen awake" asks your browser for a screen wake lock only when you turn it on.
What is saved, and how do I delete it?
Your selected sounds, the layer volumes, the main volume and up to three named mixes are saved in your browser's local storage on this device. They are not sent to us or to anyone else. "Reset saved settings" deletes them, and so does clearing your browser's site data for whitenoisesounds.app.
Does whitenoisesounds.app show ads?
Yes. Some pages on whitenoisesounds.app show ads served by Google AdSense, a service of Google. Google is a third-party vendor, and Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads on this site.
- Google's advertising cookies let Google and its partners show ads to you based on your visits to whitenoisesounds.app and/or other sites on the internet.
- Ads can be personalised (based on your earlier activity) or non-personalised (based on things like the page you are on and your general location).
- Third-party vendors and ad networks, as well as Google, may place and read cookies in your browser, or use web beacons or similar technologies, to collect information when ads are shown.
Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. How Google uses cookies in advertising is described on Google's advertising technologies page.
How can I turn off personalised ads?
You can turn off personalised advertising from Google at any time in Google Ads Settings.
You can also opt out of personalised advertising from many other third-party vendors at www.aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, at www.youronlinechoices.eu. Turning off personalised ads does not remove all ads; you will still see ads, but they will not be based on your earlier activity.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The sounds, the mixer and the sleep timer keep working if you do.
How do you ask for consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland?
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will see a consent message before advertising cookies are used or personalised ads are shown. The message comes from a consent management platform certified by Google and lets you accept, refuse or choose purposes and vendors one by one.
- If you do not consent, Google may still show non-personalised ads, using only the cookies or data that its policies allow for that, for example to limit how often you see an ad and to detect fraud.
- The consent tool stores your choice in your browser so it does not ask again on every page.
- You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the "Privacy and cookie settings" link at the bottom of the page, or by deleting the cookies for whitenoisesounds.app in your browser.

How do you count visitors?
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It does not set cookies, does not use your browser storage and does not identify individual visitors. We only see totals, such as page views per page, referring sites, countries and device types. A small script from static.cloudflareinsights.com reports each page view to Cloudflare. Your sound choices and mixes are not included.
What do the server logs contain?
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it against attacks. We use this only to run and secure the site, not to identify visitors. Cloudflare's own handling of this data is described in the Cloudflare privacy policy.
Who is whitenoisesounds.app for, and what about children?
whitenoisesounds.app is a general-audience site for everyone who wants to play white, pink or brown noise and other background sounds for sleep, rest or focus. It is not directed at children under 13. Because there is no account, we do not ask anyone for a name, email address or other contact details to use the site, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has sent us personal information, for example by email, write to info@whitenoisesounds.app and we will delete it.
What is the legal basis, and what are my rights?
For visitors covered by the GDPR:
- Advertising cookies and personalised ads are based on your consent, given in the consent message. You can withdraw it at any time.
- Server logs, security and visitor counts are based on our legitimate interest in delivering a working, secure website.
- Your sound settings and saved mixes stay on your device and never reach us.
- Emails you send us are used only to answer you, and deleted when you ask.
You have the right to ask for access to, correction of or deletion of personal data about you, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent. Write to info@whitenoisesounds.app. For data that Google processes for advertising, you can also use the tools in your Google account and Google's privacy policy. You can complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) or to the data protection authority in your own country.
Will this policy change?
If we change how the site uses data, we will update this page and the date below. If a change needs your consent, you will be asked again through the consent message.
